Some people have been concerned about how the ruling will affect churches. There has been a lot of discussion about how churches will address the ruling.

On Thursday, the Episcopal Church announced it will permit weddings for same-sex couples after members approved the change at a meeting of its governing body.

Metro Des Moines churches have been talking about the ruling since it was handed down last Friday.

"In terms of what it changes here at Plymouth quite honestly it changes nothing," said Matt Mardis-LeCroy, senior pastor of Plymouth Church in Des Moines.

Mardis-LeCroy said he's delighted to say no changes will be made at Plymouth Church.

"Our church has been marrying same-sex couples for over 20 years," Mardis-LeCroy.

In the United Church's eyes, they've always been ahead of the curve even in a state which allowed same-sex marriage more than six years ago.

"In the United Church of Christ, we have a habit of being early to truth telling," said Mardis-LeCroy.

But other churches are struggling with the Supreme Court's decision.

"We have for 100 year held for traditional biblical marriage, historic marriage," said Pastor Mike Rose of First Federated Church. "It's not like this is something new or something that we have to explore to figure out where we're at."

Pastor Dan Berry at Cornerstone Family Church said his church, too, will not stray from traditional marriage beliefs, but he said it's something to be discussed.

"Obviously, it's something that needs to be addressed and people are looking for pastors, leaders in the community to address these situations," said Berry.

Rose said he won't be addressing the church's stance during any sermons, but his church will be crafting a statement with their stance for traditional marriage.
